First a quote from Webmonkey's first look at the forthcoming Photoshop:

As I'm sure you all are, I'm personally thrilled about this. I'm looking forward to trying out "insta-panorama" on some basic landscape shots. And I dare say that this feature may replace most typical use of cloning in photo editing.
What say you?
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping new feature is the seam carving resize tool. Traditionally, if you want to resize the width of an image, but not the height, youve had to accept some distortion as the image was stretched. Last year, however, two researchers came up with a technique known as seam carving, or intelligent resizing. As we suspected when one of the team was hired by Adobe, the technology has become part of Photoshop.
Seam carving is difficult to describe. Basically, the tool looks at an image, determines which areas are of the greatest interest, and then resizes the other areas, leaving the primary areas of visual interest alone. The result is a nearly distortion-free resized image.
The opposite works as well. If a region of an image needs editing say, a tourist standing in your otherwise pristine scene you can use the Seam Carving tool to remove the tourist and leave the rest of the scene intact. Its one of the cooler things weve seen Adobe add to recent version of Photoshop. Even just using the beta version, weve become addicted.
